This Chicken Limone is made with chicken breasts, oil, lemon, flour, butter, parsley, and cooked to perfection. 

This is the easiest way to make chicken less boring is by breading, adding lots of lemon, butter, and pepper to make a mouthwatering sauce. This one-skillet dinner comes together in minutes and it is so delicious to enjoy during those summer months. You could even top this with parmesan cheese for a nice finish.

What you will need

  • Chicken: I used chicken breast for this although you could use boneless chicken thighs.
  • Flour: I used all-purpose flour. You could use almond flour if keto. The flour helps make the chicken crispy.
  • Olive oil: I used good quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Butter: I used salted butter but you could use ghee or unsalted butter and salt yourself.
  • Lemons: For best taste, use real lemons and not store bought lemon juice. I sliced the lemons and caramelized them on each side.

How to make Chicken Limone

  1. Rub chicken with olive oil, lemon zest, salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, add flour. Dip the chicken in the oil mixture, then dredge the chicken on both sides. 
  2. On a large pan on medium high, place olive oil and wait for it to shimmer. Add the chicken and sear the chicken until golden, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken. 
  3. Reduce heat to medium and place the butter and the sliced lemon into the pan, until caramelized, about 1 minute on each side.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium low and now add the juice of the lemon juice and parsley. Let the liquid simmer for about 3 minutes, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom with a wooden spoon. 
  5. Return the chicken back into the pot. Depending on the thickness of the chicken, simmer until the chicken is coked through, about another 6-12 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. 
  6. Serve the chicken with the lemon sliced on the top!
